“Jasmine and vanilla under gardenia — Lancôme's 2005 hypnotic flicker, comforting at its best.”
A DNA sibling to Annick Menardo's earlier Dior Hypnotic Poison (1998) — same vanilla-and-white-floral core. Her 2005 launch for Lancôme: passion flower at the top, a jasmine-gardenia heart, settling on a vanille base. Fall and winter evenings.
The take
What works
